Maybe it's because of the slashers who say, "well, I wouldn't read/write slash exclusively if there were more female characters who XYZ."

[(Anonymous)]

na

I don't think I've ever seen anyone say that but it sounds annoying

[(Anonymous)]

That's so frustrating. (And I'm saying this as someone who enjoys slash.) Just admit that you've got a thing for guy-on-guy action, don't pretend that it's some how been ~forced upon you~ by a lack of female characters.

[(Anonymous)]

Shouldn't that be: ~THRUST upon you~ ?

sa

Got any links to someone saying bs like that? Because I've been in fandom for almost 20 years, all of that in slash aspects of fandom, and I've never seen anyone say that (I know, I know doesn't mean someone hasn't said it, but I don't think it's that common). I sure wouldn't. Do I want interesting/awesome female characters? Yes, I do. But I don't want to write or read fic about them. I want m/m slash. I have no obligation to write or read fic about female characters just because they're female.

NAYRT

I don't have a link, and I haven't seen it in ages, but I definitely have seen it. Even on F!S in the past.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I don't have any links, but I've seen it on this community, and anon downthread apparently thinks it's so common that it's not news to point it out, so I don't know what to tell you.

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly don't know how it is now days, but when I was heavily involved in fandom (back in the heydays of LJ), I saw some argue that male characters were inherently better written than female characters and that as soon as a well-written female character came along, they'd totally be a fan!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I remember that too. They always had some excuse why #FemaleCharacter wasn't REALLY well-written enough to write fanfic about, unlike That Dude Who Was In One Episode, Once and how they were totally eyefucking with the Hero.

[(Anonymous)]

And don't forget the "we're into slash because we are totes progressive and support gay rights" crowd. *eyeroll*

[(Anonymous)]

I've never seen that, the pure slashers I know readily admit that they're just into slash period.

[(Anonymous)]

this is somewhat true with me, tbh. i read mostly slash but if there are my kinda het ships in a show, i do ship them, too (but i'm very picky and there's only been some i love to bits, like... peter/olivia, lincoln/octavia, chandler/monica, snow/charming... mostly shows with ensemble cast with wonderful female characters) and often there just isn't enough female characters i find interesting to ship. idk...

but yes, i've seen this said, too (and not by me, i mean.)
